How can theatre transform and speak poetically to our lives? How can we let art live within us and see our world anew? How to continue to engage civically in the nexus between art and practice and life? In this Presidential election year in the US, NoPassport theare alliance seeks to honor veterans of these wars, shed light on the plight of female soldiers and their families in particular, and to offer a space for spiritual healing in communities through a little art. The stories, moreover, of female veterans are even more hidden from plain view. The emotional and psychic wounds – not to mention, physical ones as well – will take a long time to heal, especially because outside of their ground and air combat missions, both wars to many people’s eyes seem to be “theoretical.” In the US, for example, although innumerable communities have been affected by the loss of loved ones, and the cost and necessity of rehabilitation of returning soldiers, the fact of these wars has been somehow less present in the national consciousness. The toll recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken on soldiers in the US and abroad, and on the lives of families and civilians impacted directly by it is un-measured. It is also committed to interventionist actions, through theatre-making, in culture toward peace, healing, forgiveness, positive action, and resistance to uncivil actions. NoPassport theatre alliance and press is committed to the advocacy, promotion, production and publication of creative expressions of diversity and difference in theatre and performance.
